The first “Joyce Loved Music” scholarship will be presented to a Northwest Florida high school senior at the festival Saturday. Dorsey said the winner she chose, Navarre High School student Tabitha Yamaguchi, exhibits the same passion for music her sister did.

“I’m tying everything to what she loved, which was music,” said Dorsey, who remembers music always being a part of their lives growing up. “We listened to it from sunup to sundown.”

In her phone Dorsey keeps memories of her sister, a 1978 graduate of Bay High School, whom she described as hardworking, passionate and generous.

“She helped co-workers, friends, friends of friends,” she said. “She just wanted to do right by God and I can honestly say she succeeded.”

Photos of a custom photo calendar made for her by her twin was enough to bring Dorsey to tears Friday.

Along with photos of the pair, each month carried a message: “Live like there is no tomorrow, because it just might not be,” “Love Yourself,” “Dance like no one’s watching” and “Here’s to being a twin.”

As identical twins, the sisters remained close even when they were miles apart.

“There was not one day when we didn’t have some kind of communication,” said Dorsey, who had an uneasy feeling when her sister was nowhere to be found after her favorite artist performed at the festival last year.
